/ "Good afternoon, madam. How may I help \
| you?" |
| |
| "Good afternoon. I'd like a FrintArms |
| HandCannon, please." |
| |
| "A--? Oh, now, that's an awfully big |
| gun for such a lovely lady. I mean, not |
| everybody thinks ladies should carry |
| guns at all, though I say they have a |
| right to. But I think... I might... |
| Let's have a look down here. I might |
| have just the thing for you. Yes, here |
| we are! Look at that, isn't it neat? |
| Now that is a FrintArms product as |
| well, but it's what's called a laser -- |
| a light-pistol some people call them. |
| Very small, as you see; fits easily |
| into a pocket or bag; won't spoil the |
| line of a jacket; and you won't feel |
| you're lugging half a tonne of iron |
| around with you. We do a range of |
| matching accessories, including -- if I |
| may say so -- a rather saucy garter |
| holster. Wish I got to do the fitting |
| for that! Ha -- just my little joke. |
| And there's *even*... here we are -- |
| this special presentation pack: gun, |
| charged battery, charging unit, |
| beautiful glider-hide shoulder holster |
| with adjustable fitting and contrast |
| stitching, and a discount on your next |
| battery. Full instructions, of course, |
| and a voucher for free lessons at your |
| local gun club or range. Or there's the |
| *special* presentation pack; it has all |
| the other one's got but with *two* |
| charged batteries and a night-sight, |
| too. Here, feel that -- don't worry, |
| it's a dummy battery -- isn't it neat? |
| Feel how light it is? Smooth, see? No |
| bits to stick out and catch on your |
| clothes, *and* beautifully balanced. |
| And of course the beauty of a laser is, |
| there's no recoil. Because it's |
| shooting light, you see? Beautiful gun, |
| beautiful gun; my wife has one. Really. |
| That's not a line, she really has. Now, |
| I can do you that one -- with a battery |
| and a free charge -- for ninety-five; |
| or the presentation pack on a special |
| offer for one-nineteen; or this, the |
| special presentation pack, for |
| one-forty-nine." |
| |
| "I'll take the special." |
| |
| "Sound choice, madam, *sound* choice. |
| Now, do--?" |
| |
| "And a HandCannon, with the eighty-mill |
| silencer, five GP clips, three six-five |
| AP/wire-fl'echettes clips, two |
| bipropellant HE clips, and a Special |
| Projectile Pack if you have one -- the |
| one with the embedding rounds, not the |
| signalers. I assume the night-sight on |
| this toy is compatible?" |
| |
| "Aah... yes, And how does madam wish to |
| pay?" |
| |
| She slapped her credit card on the |
| counter. "Eventually." |

/ Well, anyway, I was reading this James \
| Bond book, and right away I realized |
| that like most books, it had too many |
| words. The plot was the same one that |
| all James Bond books have: An evil |
| person tries to blow up the world, but |
| James Bond kills him and his henchmen |
| and makes love to several attractive |
| women. There, that's it: 24 words. But |
| the guy who wrote the book took |
| *thousands* of words to say it. |
| |
| Or consider "The Brothers Karamazov", |
| by the famous Russian alcoholic Fyodor |
| Dostoyevsky. It's about these two |
| brothers who kill their father. Or |
| maybe only one of them kills the |
| father. It's impossible to tell because |
| what they mostly do is talk for nearly |
| a thousand pages. If all Russians talk |
| as much as the Karamazovs did, I don't |
| see how they found time to become a |
| major world power. |
| |
| I'm told that Dostoyevsky wrote "The |
| Brothers Karamazov" to raise the |
| question of whether there is a God. So |
| why didn't he just come right out and |
| say: "Is there a God? It sure beats the |
| heck out of me." |
| |
| Other famous works could easily have |
| been summarized in a few words: |
| |
| * "Moby Dick" -- Don't mess around with |
| large whales because they symbolize |
| |
| nature and will kill you. * "A Tale of |
| Two Cities" -- French people are crazy. |

/ The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest is \
| held ever year at San Jose State Univ. |
| by Professor Scott Rice. It is held in |
| memory of Edward George Earle |
| Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), a rather |
| prolific and popular (in his time) |
| novelist. He is best known today for |
| having written "The Last Days of |
| Pompeii." |
| |
| Whenever Snoopy starts typing his novel |
| from the top of his doghouse, beginning |
| "It was a dark and stormy night..." he |
| is borrowing from Lord Bulwer-Lytton. |
| This was the line that opened his |
| novel, "Paul Clifford," written in |
| 1830. The full line reveals why it is |
| so bad: |
| |
| It was a dark and stormy night; the |
| rain fell in torrents -- except |
| |
| at occasional intervals, when it was |
| checked by a violent gust of |
| |
| wind which swept up the streets (for it |
| is in London that our scene |
| |
| lies), rattling along the housetops, |
| and fiercely agitating the scanty |
| |
| flame of the lamps that struggled |
\ against the darkness. /

/ No live organism can continue for long \

| itself against its hills, holding |
| darkness within; it had stood so for |
| eighty years and might stand for eighty |
| more. Within, walls continued upright, |
| bricks met neatly, floors were firm, |
| and doors were sensibly shut; silence |
| lay steadily against the wood and stone |
| of Hill House, and whatever walked |
| there, walked alone. |

/ "Speak, thou vast and venerable head," \
| muttered Ahab, "which, though |
| ungarnished with a beard, yet here and |
| there lookest hoary with mosses; speak, |
| mighty head, and tell us the secret |
| thing that is in thee. Of all divers, |
| thou has dived the deepest. That head |
| upon which the upper sun now gleams has |
| moved amid the world's foundations. |
| Where unrecorded names and navies rust, |
| and untold hopes and anchors rot; where |
| in her murderous hold this frigate |
| earth is ballasted with bones of |
| millions of the drowned; there, in that |
| awful water-land, there was thy most |
| familiar home. Thou hast been where |
| bell or diver never went; has slept by |
| many a sailer's side, where sleepless |
| mothers would give their lives to lay |
| them down. Thou saw'st the locked |
| lovers when leaping from their flaming |
| ship; heart to heart they sank beneath |
| the exulting wave; true to each other, |
| when heaven seemed false to them. Thou |
| saw'st the murdered mate when tossed by |
| pirates from the midnight deck; for |
| hours he fell into the deeper midnight |
| of the insatiate maw; and his murderers |
| still sailed on unharmed -- while swift |
| lightnings shivered the neighboring |
| ship that would have borne a righteous |
| husband to outstretched, longing arms. |
| O head! thou has seen enough to split |
| the planets and make an infidel of |
| Abraham, and not one syllable is |
| thine!" |

/ "...The name of the song is called \
| 'Haddocks' Eyes'!" |
| |
| "Oh, that's the name of the song, is |
| it?" Alice said, trying to feel |
| interested. |
| |
| "No, you don't understand," the Knight |
| said, looking a little vexed. "That's |
| what the name is called. The name |
| really is, 'The Aged Aged Man.'" |
| |
| "Then I ought to have said "That's what |
| the song is called'?" Alice corrected |
| herself. |
| |
| "No, you oughtn't: that's quite another |
| thing! The song is called 'Ways and |
| Means': but that's only what it is |
| called you know!" |
| |
| "Well, what is the song then?" said |
| Alice, who was by this time completely |
| bewildered. |
| |
| "I was coming to that," the Knight |
| said. "The song really is "A-sitting on |
| a Gate": and the tune's my own |
| invention." |
